When I look at the handbags down below the song "some enchanted evening" comes to mind. All of them are beautiful and elegant. I stayed away from anything too modern when picking these purses. For some reason, I found that vintage did more justice to the peacock than the many trendy pieces found today. Not that trendy items aren't elegant, but in looking at the peacock I saw a work of artistic beauty, almost galleryish, that is so often found in one of kind, handmade items.

The first in the peacock collection is a coin purse from peppermintdesigns. Ariane Dreysse has done an amazing job with this coin purse. The gold bow accentuates the sweetness of it and the peacock design make it unique and rich looking.

So much work went into this handwoven, hand-painted, and hand-dyed clutch. Everything about it is beautiful. The cherry blossoms, the regal image of the peacock, the silk fabric, all pull together into a solid work of art. It comes from puck513 on etsy and it is just one of the many beautiful clutches that shop has to offer.

I wanted to include at least one purse with a peacock feather. But they were hard to find.
Luckily, bellafiore2009 had this lovely one. I love the flower pattern that's been done with the feathers and how it pops off the clutch.
